What bothers me is, I had to see you say it was satire to be sure... |

I wonder what the Kos pukebags are going to barf about it, given their original foaming-at-the-mouth (surprise...surprise) stance. |

So are the resident trolls here now going to add the "fake but true" moniker to this story as well. |

I’m trying to understand why people are treating the exoneration of these two Marines as a thorough debunking of Murtha’s accusations. Isn’t there still a formidable case against several other Marines involved in the Haditha incident? |

I’m trying to understand why people are treating the exoneration of these two Marines as a thorough debunking of Murtha’s accusations. Isn’t there still a formidable case against several other Marines involved in the Haditha incident? If those Marines are implicated in the same killings, how will the forensic evidence exonerate one and not the others? The evidence either supports the charges of murder or it doesn’t. According to Ware’s findings in the Article 32, it doesn’t.
If I’m not mistaken, many of the charges still pending have nothing to do with the particular incident per se, but more to do with failures of command and leadership in the investigation and reporting of the incident. |

The NCIS evidently had access to the same infallible Pentagon insiders Murtha did. |

According to Ware’s findings in the Article 32, it doesn’t. My understanding is that one Marine received immunity for his testimony that implicated Wuterich for killing five Iraqis trying to surrender. And that those supposed murders were being investigated separately. I would very much like to see all of these young men come out clean. However, I’m still not following the logic. Admittedly, I don’t have the grasp that you do on these matters. But, it seems to me that if the evidence that Ware pointed to when making his recommendations regarding Sharratt and Stone were applicable to all of the murders then he should have been able to make a similar recommendation for the others that are accused as well. Maybe I’m just reading bad information or I missed a link in the story. |

And that those supposed murders were being investigated separately. Yup, you’re right, I mistakenly thought you were talking about the 3 who were killed by Sharratt and another Wuterich. Wuterich has a total of 18 charges of murder against him.
Dela Cruz got immunity but wasn’t a witness to the Sharratt incident. Wuterich, however, was with Sharratt, so my guess is the three charges of murder stemming from that incident will end up being dropped against Wuterich as well. |

A little visit by the Devil. Mr. Murtha, you are long over due to retire....don’t you think. Shame on you for jumping to conclusions. The same thing went on down in North Carolina. Why don’t you ask Mr. Nifong, what jumping the gun has done to him. Next time, think my friend before you leap....because the pool maybe empty. —— Beneficial Association |
